Staff Product Manager

DigitalOcean is looking for a product leader to help build its next generation of security and identity capabilities. This role leads one of the core product surfaces within the Security Products portfolio and helps define how secure access, identity, and workload trust are delivered across the platform. The focus is DigitalOcean's customer-facing security and IAM platform, including service accounts, workload identity, OIDC federation, scoped API access, machine and agent identity, remediation guidance, auditability, and intuitive identity experiences across the console and API. You will report to the Head of Security Products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the roadmap for your product surface within the Security Products portfolio, translating customer needs and platform capabilities into a clear multi-quarter strategy.
• Translate complex identity, access, and security problems into intuitive experiences in the DigitalOcean console and API, focusing on usability for developers and small teams without sacrificing security.
• Work closely with engineering leaders to define architecture and shape technical direction so product decisions reflect both customer value and platform realities.
• Engage directly with customers to understand how they manage access, credentials, automation, CI/CD workflows, and security today, then shape solutions that reduce operational complexity.
• Drive the full product lifecycle from discovery through launch and iteration, writing clear product narratives and requirements.
• Collaborate with teams across Security, IAM, Accounts, Networking, Compute, App Platform, Inference, Billing, and Support to integrate capabilities cleanly.
• Use prototyping tools, including Figma and AI-assisted development tools, to clarify requirements and test experience concepts.
• Define success metrics, analyze usage and feedback, and continuously refine the product to increase adoption and reduce customer risk.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management or a related technical role, working on cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, IAM, or security-related products.
• Experience releasing customer-facing IAM, access control, identity, or security products, preferably in cloud infrastructure or enterprise control-plane environments.
• Strong technical fluency with distributed systems, APIs, authentication, authorization, and modern cloud architectures.
• Familiarity with identity concepts such as service accounts, API tokens, scoped permissions, RBAC, federation, workload identity, auditability, and credential lifecycle management.
• Familiarity with AI-native infrastructure patterns, including machine identity, agent identity, delegated access, and MCP-style workflows.
• Strong written communication skills and comfort operating in fast-moving environments where product direction evolves with customer insight.
